Pay before you pump your gas....

I get annoyed and I don't even have kids to take in and out with me, I can imagine how annoying it would be to have a car full go back and forth.

Wow lose their license that is pretty intense. I think it would really annoy me if I had to wait for someone to pump my gas every time.

I tried to pay at the pump at the Shell station here with my debit card and it kept saying see attendant. I tried three times before I gave up and went in. Turns out those pumps automatically try and do $100 prepay and if you have less that $100 in your account it doesn't work. On this dy I had $99 in my account! I only wanted $20 worth as it was hubby's van! Took me at least 20minutes to get fuel. I was not impressed!

Well that would pee me off too. They need to rework their pumps to accomadate us poor people that don't have 100.00 in our accts.

Tell me about it, drives me nuts. It is the closest station to home too!

It is a sad sign of the times I think.

I drive a propane vehicle and that is a nightmare to fuel up. I didn't used to mind the van cause I could still pump the gas and be gone fast. Now it just takes longer and the older I get the less patience I have! Yesterday I went to get propane and they have to pump it for you these days. So this girl comes out she is maybe 16 years old. I have been pumping propane before she was born and so I tell her it has an automatic shutoff and you don't need to bleed it. Well oh no, you have to have it open it's the law. So I shut up. Then she says I have to go inside and prepay. How I could take off with the hose attached to my car is beyond me but ok I'm game. I go inside to prepay and the guy inside says how much was it? I say I don't know she said I had to prepay. Well that's stupid says the guy. Tell me about it I say. So there I stood waiting for her to fill the car so I could pay. Now I am thoroughly confused! Next time, hubby fuels the beast! I am ranting and not making sense but that's okay....I just wish I could pull in, fuel up and be on my way without all these rules.

Your problem isn't the law. I know what your problem is. Your problem is that you have to deal with teenagers.
Teenagers these days are good with computers and stuff. But in the real world they are just STOOOOOOOOPID!!!
I encounter this at the grocery store a lot. Teenagers haven't got a clue! If you gave most of them a clue it might their first...

How about when you are in line at a store and the power goes off and they have to get a calculator out to add up two items because they never had to add without one!

I have no patience for that stuff.
When I become premier, there will be no computers and no calculators in any grade up to and including grade 7.
There will be no spell check.
There will be spelling bee's.
There will be grammar taught.
Children will know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide, manually. WITH A PENCIL,PEN or their fingers and toes. BUT THEY WILL KNOW HOW TO DO THIS.
They will be able to read, print and write.
Essays will be done in pen and ink.
Stupid kids are not. Adults are. adults are stupid for letting the BCTF get away with this junk for too long.
The kids WILL know the ten provinces, and the three territories and their capital cities.
They will be able to identify the provinces on a silhouette showing provincial boundaries.
The kids will know what the name of Canada's capital city is and where it is located (what province).
Pro-D days will be grouped together and attendance by teachers will manditory as a condition of employment. Reasonable allowances will be made for compassionate reasons.

But at the end of all this, the number of numbskulls being cranked out will be reduced significantly.

How much is your gas a gallon where you are from?

We used to have it at night after certain hours at certain stations and that was fine by me, I just get tired of all the wasted time waiting in lines. Our gas is at $1.18 a litre I think that is around $5 a gallon but not sure as I don't feel like doing math!

If you take our per liter price and multiply it times four, you are about as close to the US price as dag nabbit is to cussing.
we are about $4.80 per US gallon right now for regular gas and $5 per US gallon for diesel.
That's just in case you Americans are feeling a bit hard done by.

It's like the gas staions have the right to rob us every day and since they are thieves they think everyone else is.

Oh those pumps are probably coming to a station near you before you know it. On one hand they are handy but on the other hand I miss the day when people would check my tires and water and oil plus wish me a good day!

I don't think anything is going to keep the cost down, it seems to be out of control!

It is just too bad that a few people have to make it tougher on the rest of us. such is life I guess.

Our area also has to prepay. Personally I think its good because some people steal. The gas would be higher if it wasn't for prepay and we don't want that.
